The Intel® Core™2 Quad processor is the latest in cutting edge processor technology for the desktop PC. Based on the new Intel® Core™ microarchitecture, the Intel Core 2 Quad processor delivers four complete execution cores within a single processor, delivering unprecedented performance and responsiveness in multi-threaded and multi-tasking business and home use environments.

The unprecedented performance of the Intel Core 2 Quad processor is made possible by each of the four complete execution cores delivering the full power of Intel Core microarchitecture. More instructions can be carried out per clock cycle, shorter and wider pipelines execute commands more quickly, and improved bus lanes move data throughout the system faster. This quad-core processor represents Intel’s continued leadership and drive of multi-core processing and more parallel computing.

Doing More with Intel Quad-Core
The Intel Core 2 Quad processor is at the center of today’s most interactive and content rich software experiences. The evolving set of threaded multi-media applications, including digital content creation, will shine as users are able to complete tasks faster. Game play can achieve even greater visualization and realism as tasks such as artificial intelligence (AI), physics, and rendering can be distributed across each of the four complete execution cores and run in parallel.

REVIEW BY: Nitrosport Reviewed  Mar 04, 2008
I bought this a few months ago for my new build. It runs very stable and it's fast. This has been the best investment I could make for my pc.

REVIEW BY: JP_Tuner Reviewed  Feb 23, 2008
I've had this processor for about a month now and I love it. Granted I came from a single core 3gig but wow, the potential of this thing is phenominal. The amount of overclock room on this thing is crazy. Some have gotten it to 3.9 stable with water cooling and the average for air cool is 3.6gigs. Thats amazing for the money you pay. Just remember if you buy this that the factory heatsink/fan is not very overclock helpful. I got it to run @2.6gigs prime 95 stable with it. I would deffinately recommnd this processor along with a high end cpu cooler.

REVIEW BY:  Reviewed  Feb 19, 2008
perfect, for anything, gaming and more. overclocking is great, and pretty easy as long as a know what your doing.

REVIEW BY:  Reviewed  Feb 18, 2008
This cpu is very good, I ran 2 video programs at the same time and looked at the performance in the w. task m. and the cpu usage was at its best of 4-7% and I just laugh and said wow this is a really great processor. Then I open nero and everyone knows it pulls cpu, at the same time and nothing much of a difference ...mmm lets say about 13%. Now I recommend this for anyone who likes performance and smoothness.. oh forgot to mention all you need is a good video card for games its a breeze for madden 08, hitman, csi, any game i have put in GTA.. whatever its really good

REVIEW BY:  Reviewed  Feb 07, 2008
I bought the HP Elite 9080n and this Quad core comes with it. All I have to say is I am HIGHLY IMPRESSED. It is very quick.

What You Should Know

PLEASE NOTE: We only sell NEW processors purchased direct from the manufacturer or from factory authorized distributors. We will never sell a "pull" (which is a CPU removed from an assembled system at some manufacturing plant) or a used processor as other online vendors do without telling you. We are the largest CPU reseller in the Country, we offer the lowest prices in the industry on processors because we deal in such great volume. If you are comparing our price against another site with a much lower price, you are probably buying returns or pulls. Only accept genuine quality, buy from Us.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING OUR RETURN POLICY ON CPU'S: Please note that all processors may be returned only for defective exchange. You must purchase a compatible heatsink and fan on the same order as the processor in order to preserve your warranty or exchange privilege. We are not able to accept returns for refunds on processors under any circumstances. All processors will be inspected and tested upon return and any damage caused by poor packaging, overclocking, or other tampering with the processor will be cause for the return to be refused, and exchange denied.
